I have many interests, so this is going to be a blog on lots of subjects. Submarines, my family, history, books I read, the space programme, archaeology, astronomy, current events, the occasional joke.... Just don't expect any politics, sports or deep philosophy, and we should get along fine.

The Cybils: 2006 winners

One of the things I missed while I was sick was the announcement of the winners for the 2006 Cybils (the Children's and YA Bloggers' Literary Awards). They were:

Fiction Picture Books:Scaredy Squirrel, by Melanie Watt

Non-Fiction Picture Books:An Egg Is Quiet, by Dianna Aston; illustrated by Sylvia Long

Middle Grade Fiction:A Drowned Maiden's Hair, by Laura Amy Schlitz

Young Adult Fiction:Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

Haven't read any of these yet, but I'll be looking for some of them (and some of the other nominees). Actually, I was kind of disappointed that Beka Cooper: Terrier, by Tamora Pierce, didn't win the Fantasy and SF award - that's one book that I'm definitely going to be buying. (You can read the beginning of it here.)
